like to see an aggressor laid low, his head

so, jumping up from his crouchiuy position,
he tossed his arms into the air and sprang
| and shouted in n way that left no mistake as
to his whereabouts. In another minute he
saw man on horseback, canterlnC easily
toward him, in whom he had little difficulty
in recognizing as Frank Muller. He wcn5

CHAPTER X.
JOHN HAS AN ESCAPE.

JOHN HAS AN ESCAPE.
On the following Monday John, taking
JantJe to drive him, departed in a rough
Scotch cart, to which were harnessed two Of
the best horses at Mooifontein, to shoot buck
at Hans Coetzees.
He reached the place at about $50 o'clock,
and concluded, from the fact of the presence
OF several carts and horses. that he was not
the only guest Indeed, the first person thai
he saw as the cart pulled up was his late enc
my, Frank Muller
"Kek dook), baas," said Jantje, "therc is
Baas Frank talking to a Basutu!"
| John was, as may be imagined, not best
pleased at this meeting. He had always dis
| liked the man, and since Muler's conduct on
the previous Friday, and Jantje's story of the
dark decd of blood in which he had been the
principal actor, he positively loathcI the sight
of him. He got out of the cart and was go
Ing to walk round to the back of the house in
| order to avoid him, when Muller, to all APP
pearance suddenly became aware of his pres
ence and advanced to meet him with the ut
most cordially.
| "How do you do, captain7" he said, holding
out his hand, which John just touched. $50

ing his thumb in the direction of Jantie, who
was holding the horses heads. sit would never
have happened, and it is not nice that two
Christians should quarrel about such as he.n
Muller jerked out his long speech in a sue
cesson of sentences, something as a school
boy repeats hardly learned lesson, fidgeting
his feet and letting his ewes travel about the
ground as he did so; and it was evident to
John, who stood quite still and listened to if
in lev silence, that it was by no means an ex-
temporary one. 1t had too clearly been com
posed for the occasion.

The Kaiser Years AGO.

This is how the veteran German I'M
peror appeared many years ago, when
he was prince of Prussia. It was Capt.
Chamier, of the British navy that gave
him the description. "On my return to
Melleray," he wrote, II found a miser-
able-looking, dirty vehicle driving to
the door, from which descended a
young man, with another of o ma
ture age. There was a servant who
looked nearly as poor as his masters,
and who handed out carpot-bag which
seemed the working material of the trio.
The first two went into the modest pub
lie room. and ut one end of the long
table were soon enjoying what in En-
gland is called a substantial tea; the
servant staggered, and of course was
better fed. He was not disposed to dis.
guise himself or the master lie served;
he was evidently somebody, this SER
vant-and very soon, unable to contain
within himself the honor of his position,
informed my courier that his master,
the young man, was the prince of Prus-
STA. l never saw a more modest and
agreeable-looking young nan in my
lite. At 4 in the morning, without in
the slightest manner disturbing the in
habitants Of the inn, and paying a bill
of about Is francs, this active prince
continued his journey. Here was an
example we'll worthy Of being followed.
There was no foolish ostentation, no
encouragement for plumber, no over
bearing impertinenco, but the manner
and conduct of q thorough nobleman
and a careful gentleman"

How to Fasten a Collar.

Il suppose you will be indignant
when l tell you that in all your life you
have not yet learned to fasten your col
lar properly" said a clerk in a Smith
field street gents furnishing store to a
reporter.
''Why, what's the matter with itP"
The clerks features lighted up with
a quiet smile of superiority as he re-
piled:
"There is nothing the matter with it
as far as appearance goes. But, tell
me, do you not find it rather a trouble
some matter to button your collar in
tho morning?"
well, yes; these stand-up-all-round
collars are awkward things to handle,
anyhow"
exactly. And you button the left
side first so that tho right side laps
overp"
.Yes.
"And you button the left side with
the right hand, and the right side with
the left hand afterward?"
eyes"
"And when. after wrestling for a
while with the left side, you get it fast
ened, you tackle the right side with the
left hand-much 'the weaker hand of
the two unless you are left-handed-
and you have a terrible time that makes
you perspire all over and use profane
language. unless. you are a very good
man. eR?"
"You hit the truth very nearly, 1 am
afraid"
'Of course, know how it goes. Now,
if you will only button your collar the
other way you will have your right
hand in reserve to do the hardest work,
and your collar will 60 on over so much
easier, especially if you put your tongue
to the button-hole first and soften the
starch a little. You need not feel
ashamed because you did not know all
this. because l notice that nine we'll
dressed men out of every ten have their
collars ON the wrong way. The remedy
forthe trouble is very simple, but very
few people think of it till they are
shown" ~ Pittsburgh Penny Press.
